Just some observations from a struggling lift user...

Yes, I see it's utility in delivering dynamic html to the browser. But
in today's world of rapidly evolving technologies for mashups and flex-
like richness and gadgetization, interoperability is the key to
adoption in the enterprise. It's not enough to say you can selectively
rewrite your legacy apps in lift. Lift, out of the box, is still
another technology for building monolithing web apps (war files). Not
the best stategy.

I find the keepers of the code, in response to numerous postings on
this site, suffer from NIH anxiety and easily dismiss interoperability
with other frameworks, either because they believe they have a
superior implementation, so why use someone else's, or, if you really
feel you need it, roll your own.

My response to that is, it just doesn't work that way. The best
technologies are not just agnostic on the issue of interoperability,
they embrace pluggability, and let the developer community choose the
winners and losers.

Lift suffers from not even having an out-of the-box declarative
configuration capability. And, frankly no, I don't have the time or
resources to write my own. Please, give me something other than just
an <a> tag to work with.
